Day 265: Utilities, Groceries, and New Tunes
The only out-of-the-house shopping I did today was a quick trip to the grocery store because we were all out of milk. The Husband paid a couple of utility bills today and gave me the receipts so I’ve included them as well. My final spending of the day was in the form of a late-night iTunes [...]
Day 217: Two Tunes and a Trip to the Thrift Store
I was thinking that today was officially a no-spend day but I was in error. I’d forgotten about my spur-of-the-moment but very well-timed trip to the thrift store this afternoon.
This morning I bought two songs off iTunes today though they don’t really count because I didn’t spend any money. I bought the songs with my iTunes [...]

Day 131: Speech Therapy and Gospel Music
Today was crammed with appointments for me and The Son. I started out the day with a morning appointment at my doctor’s office for a blood draw for a thyroid test. Painful and annoying but no copay necessary — the insurance company should pick up the whole tab.
The next appointment was for The Son to [...]
Day 24
Pixie Soap — $20.00
A gift box for my sister who developed a scary, nasty infection in her jaw this weekend. Apparently she’s trying for a year now to tell her dentist that something was wrong with the filling but he kept saying it looked fine. Whoops, guess he was wrong, huh? I suggested maybe it’s [...]
